The Jets have been using a running back by committee approach this season, so Forte’s likely absence should mean a busy day for Bilal Powell and rookie Elijah McGuire.

It could also mean newly-signed running back Travaris Cadet gets a chance to make an immediate impact. The Jets signed the former New Orleans Saint Tuesday night in the wake of Forte’s injury. Cadet also offers experience in the return game.

Forte has rushed for 94 yards on 23 carries this season. He also has six receptions for 58 yards but has yet to find the end zone.
